Paragraph 30
 

Term limits can increase the influence of party leaderships. Those who are prohibited from running for office but wish to stay in politics may seek another way to do so, such as currying favour with the party leadership to obtain other offices (e.g. in the executive branch or at local or regional level) other than the other House of Parliament. This increases the power of party structures to an unnecessary, unhealthy extent.
